Technological innovation

Remaining products from human nutrition processes, so called derivates, are being used since the 1950-ies on a large scale as raw materials for animal feed. Heemhorst contributet to the developments in modern feed milling industry. Animal feed processing is one of Heemhorst specialisms. A major part of the machinery for this industry is being developed and produced in our factory.

Also the coating process of end-products with fluids, rich in energy and vitamins, is important.
